Donation

Every year, around 2,500 people have treatment with the help of a donor. Find out more about donor conception and how you can donate your eggs, sperm or embryos to women and couples in need.

Using a donor

More and more couples and women are turning to donors to help them have their much longed for family. Treatment with donors through a licensed UK fertility clinic is completely safe, although there are a few things to be aware of before you start treatment.

Removing your anonymity

Anyone who donated before 1 April 2005 is automatically anonymous. If you'd like, you can choose to remove your anonymity thereby allowing any donor-conceived children to potentially make contact with you.

Support for donor-conceived people

If you were conceived with the help of a donor, you may want to know about your donor and any donor-conceived siblings you may have. Find out more about the information we hold and how we can help you prepare for accessing information from us.
